“We created Adventures of Alice & Bob to tell the stories of the people behind the scenes in cybersecurity that usually don’t make it into headlines,” said James Maude, Field CTO at BeyondTrust and co-host of the podcast. “Behind every breach, incident, or vulnerability discovery is a person with a story. By sharing these stories, we honor the people behind the keyboard fighting to keep us all secure, and hopefully inspire others to join the fight.”
